Get a heat pad to put under your tank, I would get at least a 15 gallon for 2 of them together.
A water bowl, news paper as a substrat is very easy to clean and not harmful for your leos. Put a moist hiding spot (margarine bowl with a damp scott towel will be fine) and a dry hiding spot. Feed it crickets, waxworms, mealworms, superworms, pinkies, cooked chicken, .... as long as it's not wider than it's head.

the best thing to do is to educate yourself with buying a good leopard gecko manual and research on the specific species you seem interested in aquiring. There are many excellent resources on the internet with carsheets and how to's.

True you can find a lot of info on the net, and there are a lot of things you will figure out with time. I would advise a fecal exam once a year, that is about all from the vet part. My leos had some panacur cause we bought one who had parasites and contaminated all the others.

you need to research more. a ten gallon is way too small for two leopard geckos, when they are adults. go for a 20 and get a heat pad to put on one side of the tank. no, you do not need lights, although some people do use them. but you do need some source of heat.

Cooked chicken... do you think that leopard geckos eat cooked chicken out in the wild? Umm... no. I just can't see how it could ever be healthy.
Pinkies: Should ONLY be fed to gravid female leo's for an extra calcium boost. Pinkies contain a LOT of calcium and if you fed them as a food item, even twice a week or twice a month, you're leo would be getting too much calcium. If a reptile gets too much calcium it can go into seizures and die, over-doses of calcium, and lack of calcium are two big causes of death in herps. Plus, with SO MANY other choices out there, why pick an unsafe one to a safe one? It would make no sense.
